Biggest farming county in every state

Homesteaders and newcomers to the United States way back in the early days would grow and harvest their own food. By the time the U.S. was officially founded, cities were growing fast and more opportunity existed outside of farming resulting in less farmers. 

To determine the biggest farming county in every state, Stacker compiled data from the United States Department of Agriculture's Census of Agriculture, released every five years. The information is from 2017, the most recent data available, and includes agricultural sales from each county and what percentage those sales are of the total agricultural market in the state.

In 1785, the first agricultural groups in the U.S. were founded, but the industry only began to have representation in the government almost 40 years later when the U.S. House of Representatives established the Agriculture Committee. The farming industry hit its peak in 1935 when 6.8 million farms were in operation, and even though it is in decline, farming is still a major industry in the U.S.—about 2.05 million farms are currently in operation.
